With the #LGBTActionPlan highlighting the government's bid to make so-called #ConversionTherapy illegal in the UK, I've contemplated whether I would have considered it myself as a teenager. I think I would have. For @IndyVoices @Independent today

I spent years trying to 'pray away the gay'. When it didn't work, I had to take drastic action

My mum was born into the Brethren. This brilliant report is from Australia, but these schools operate here in the UK too. Support from school was a literal lifeline when I came out - if we’d stayed in for just one more generation, things could have been so different for me.

Here is Rodney Howard-Browne claiming Hollywood stars perform human sacrifices and drink the blood of children. But TfL says ads for his church do not break any of its rules:

New: TfL is allowing a controversial US preacher whose church posts ‘freed from homosexuality’ videos to advertise on the Tube and buses during Pride Month. Critics have called for the ads to be pulled https://t.co/h01egpm6uO

This page contains testimony from someone who thanks them for helping her to stop being a lesbian, via what sounds like a prayer-focused conversion practice https://t.co/y8b0XgwtJv

Of course not every advert on the tube is going to be something I consider engaging with. It just strikes me that an organisation putting out content like this is maybe crossing a line and I question whether TfL should receive money from advertisers that will plumb these depths.

This page outlines the various types of “unrighteousness”, with homosexuality coming under number 2 “unclean persons”. It ends by arguably weaponising biblical verses calling for people to be “put to death”. https://t.co/MJsK23z0rc
